“Keep It Oakland” is a movement that was already there but now has been accelerated by the Oakland Indie Alliance. The intent, as explained to me by Amy Hillyard, co-owner of Farley’s East Cafe in Uptown Oakland, is to support and promote The Town’s native entrepreneurs. Amy explained that the Oakland Indie Alliance hired an agency to establish the promotional campaign (it should have called Zennie62Media for help, but I digress). The T-shirt you see was created to raise funds for the non-profit. You can buy the t-shirts at Farley’s East Cafe at 33 Grand Avenue, which is the home of the “Keep It Oakland” movement. Stay tuned.

Need a drone that can fly and gather data and then land on its own mini base station? Vtrus Atonomous Drone can do that and it’s makers were at The TechCrunch 2018 August Capital Party. Johathan Lenoff, Vtrus Chief Technology Officer, explained that the drone was under development and in the prototype stage but could fly indoors in a plant, gather photos and information and then land in its base station. The base station is a thing out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. It had doors that automatically open via small servo motors and the drone lands in it much like the Space: 1999 Eagle would land on its base station on the moon in that classic TV show.

How do you think the Oakland Raiders will do with Jon Gruden at the helm of the organization for at least the 2018 NFL Season? That’s the question I asked Zennie62 on YouTube fans I met at the Oakland Art & Soul Festival on Saturday. What shocked me was one man said the Raiders would do no better than .500 or 8 and 8. Eight wins and eight losses. Of course, some, like ESPN’s Colin Cowherd, had the Raiders finishing dead last in the AFC for the 2018 NFL Season. Personally, I think the Raiders will finish at 10 Wins and 6 losses. The offense will be different and Bill Walsh-based - you can see that in the practice videos. Moreover with all of that talent on defense and under a new single gap scheme, they will be better than the six and ten of 2017. But the Raiders better Sign Khalil Mack, or this prediction is going to go down to 9 and 7. Stay tuned.

The new Peet’s Coffee In Downtown Oakland at 1615 Broadway, is quite the meeting place for Uptown. Located right where Broadway and Telegraph Avenue meet, I’ve ran into everyone from Jesse Smith, who’s running for Mayor of Oakland, to Kenzie Smith, who’s running for the Oakland City Council District Two Seat, to Steve Snider of the Downtown Oakland Business Improvement District. It’s already a true community center. They’re also nice people. The folks who worked there had zero idea I was a media guy when they asked me if I wanted to take home some pastries! It was Saturday and I just happened to walk in after the Art & Soul Festival and wanted to upload a vlog over coffee before going over to my godparents for dinner. So, I thought of the two people who would most enjoy such a large haul outside of my Mom in Georgia. It was a very nice gesture. By the way, the coffee is good, too! Stay tuned.

Oakland Coliseum JPA Livestream For July 27th Meeting - Raiders Lease The meeting was marked by a discussion of how much money the Coliseum was making. Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty was insistent that the financial report did not show all of the monies made over the last fiscal year. It made for a tense moment and a promise to issue a revised report. Also, the XFL in Oakland Matter his a snag because the Coliseum could not work out a agreement with the Oakland A’s on dates. Coliseum JPA Executive Director Scott McKibben said that he approached Cal Berkeley about having XFL games there. This is still an open and unresolved matter. Then there is the Alameda County Grand Jury Ticket Scandal. The Coliseum JPA believes that the Grand Jury is taking a stance that Supervisor Haggerty described as “subjective”. That said, the decision was to form a committee that consists of four of the JPA Commissioners and two outside representatives. The Raiders lease matter is still up in the air. No report was made. That means the deadline for a lease extension that was July 30th will be overran. And into September before any signature happens. More on this soon. More on this but please watch the livestream.

In Mission Impossible Fallout, Tom Cruise manages to do what James Bond would never do: make being a secret agent look like a thankless job. In the process he made the best mission impossible movie of the series. In paring with Superman Henry Cavill (who can’t quite make you think he is someone other than Clark Kent) Cruise always has to watch his back. And then there is Alec Baldwin. In playing Tom Cruise boss in the Impossible Mission Force, Alec Baldwin communicates that while he says he is supporting Tom Cruise who is Ethan Hunt, he also makes it clear he is willing to turn him in to suit his own purposes. And then there is Rebecca Thompson. The amazing action actress appears throughout the film. But it’s not clear why she is in the movie until near the end. The only two people Tom Cruise can trust are Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames. Cruise can’t even trust CIA Director Angela Bassett. All of that combined with incredible special effects, Makes for an edge-of-your-seat movie. In fact Mission Impossible: Fallout has so many special effects it might as well be a science-fiction movie. Not less than eight special effects houses were employed to pull off some incredible scenes and stunts. If it’s not in the running for an Oscar for visual effects, something is wrong with Hollywood. Overall, it’s an incredible summer movie, well worth the price of admission. But before I conclude I have to say that Sean Harris plays one of the scariest action movie villains ever. Stay tuned.

Wow. Rudy's Cant Fail Cafe Closes In Oakland. This vlogger's favorite late night breakfast place shut its doors on July 26th 2018. And I found out the hard way: hungry for a Rudy's Cant Fail Cafe helping of Green Eggs and Ham (not kidding), after attending the TechCrunch August Capital Party in Menlo Park (they only had cheeseburger sliders, and I don't eat cheese on my sliders, so I passed). I was starving. Rudy's Cant Fail Cafe In Oakland was right off the 19th Street BART Station exit part of Fox Theater and next to Make Westing Bar, so it was an easy walk. And closed. A couple of security guard friends of mine told me the shutter was abrupt, and workers were laid off without warning and the culprit was a rumored rent increase on top of the higher minimum wage regulations for 2018 in Oakland. The Rudy's folks left a note on the door that reads "We are sad to announce that after 7+ years of serving uptown Oakland, Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe is closing its doors. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to have created a welcoming space for all of the great people who have joined us for breakfast, lunch, dinner, day and night! Rudy’s Oakland last day will be Thursday, July 26. We will be open 7am-3pm. We are also very proud of and thankful to everybody who has served with us along the way. Thanks again to everybody who has been a part of Rudy’s time in Oakland, and if you need your Rudy’s fix, you can still come visit us at our Emeryville location where we will continue to be there for you, just as we have for the last 16 years! Emeryville Hours: 7am – 1am Everyday" To say that Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe Oakland made the intersection of Telegraph and 18th along with Make Westing is an understatement. Before Phil Tagami redeveloped the Fox Theater for the City of Oakland, that space Rudy's was in was an adult film store with boarded up windows. You didn't know what was going on. When I was intern to the Oakland Redevelopment Agency, my boss Jeff Chew and I took a visit to that space, and to the then run-down and closed Fox Theater. A vastly different world there today. Wow. I have a lot of videos and stories from Rudy's Cant Fail Cafe Oakland . I was even given a hoodie! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtnEiL_xdaU&list=PLn9uSzzpCuin6vZRHqayWHl4GxyBYeyCa Stay tuned.

Charlie Casserly, the NFL Network Analyst and former General Manager of The Washington Redskins, made some really stupid and seemingly personal comments about Dez Bryant on the broadcast of Thursday evening. In an obvious rush to prove that Bryant is not the wide receiver he used to be with the Dallas Cowboys, Casserly used an example that made me wonder if he actually knew football. Charlie used an example from the Cowboys vs Rams game of last year where Dallas lined up three wide receivers to the left with Dez Bryant as the middle slot pass catcher in the group of three: the outside receiver ran an up pattern, the inside-most receiver a kind of look-in patterned to the middle of the defense, and Bryant a slant pattern to the middle of the defense. Guess what? The Rams has Dez pattern covered with two inside linebackers and the free safety in the middle. But Cowboys QB Dak Prescott threw the ball to Dez anyway. And it was a split second late throwing it. So it was a tick behind Dez - when Dez went to catch the ball he tipped it. Casserly says that because he did that Dez lost a step. Wow. What should have happened was the play should have allowed Dez the option of running a five yard out - away from the defense and that area of the field was wide open. The play design was just stupid. But obviously Casserly doesn’t know enough football to see that. Sadly Dez has to be subjected to this kind of abuse. Charlie should be ashamed of himself. NFL Network too. Stay tuned.

Rick DeSilva is the President of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber Of Commerce and Partner in Loh Realty and Investments. He's also someone I've know since 1997, when I worked as Oakland Mayor Elihu Harris Economic Advisor. I literally ran into Rick at the July 24th Oakland City Council Meeting where the Downtown / Uptown Business Improvement District was approved for another 10 years of life. If you're wondering what the Business Improvement District , or what a Business Improvement District is and does, it takes advantage of what's called Mello - Roos Financing as passed by a legislation called Mello-Roos, or the 1982 The Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act. The The Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act happens when 2/3rds of the property owners in a drawn special boundary of any shape or size vote to tax themselves. The purpose of the The Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act use in the Downtown Oakland case happened as an outgrowth of concerns about vandalism and security in the Downtown Oakland area in 1999. Oakland has several BIDs: Downtown Oakland Association, Fruitvale Business Improvement District , Jack London Improvement District, Koreatown/Northgate BID, Laurel District Association, Lakeshore Avenue Business Improvement District, Montclair Village Association, Rockridge District Association, Temescal/Telegraph, and Lake Merritt/Uptown Association. As Rick explains in the video, the Oakland Chinatown Chamber Of Commerce is a kinds of watch-dog organization over the Downtown Oakland BIDs. He has concerns over how Oakland development has encroached on Chintatown, and that, combined with the high-minimum wage ordinance has combined to hurt the small independent businesses that give Oakland Chinatown its character, and leave it to be changed by giant chain retailer and restaurant operators.

Chris Young Suspends Oakland City Council District Four Race For Beautiful Reason: his wife Sam is pregnant with their second child. On his Facebook page, Chris left this tearfully lovely message: Dear Friends and Family: The outpouring of support for my candidacy for Oakland City Council has been nothing short of amazing. From old childhood friends to the Mayor, current District 4 Councilwoman and firefighters, and the countless union members and neighbors with whom I have spent time—your vote of confidence in me has been incredibly uplifting and inspiring. Today I want to share something personal. For the past few years, Sam and I have been trying to conceive a second child. We’ve wanted nothing more than to give our son, Elijah, a lifelong friend and companion. Just as we lost hope, a miracle was delivered: recently, we learned that Sam is pregnant! We are absolutely thrilled about meeting the newest member of our family early next year. This news, while amazing, forced Sam and me to do some soul searching and discuss whether it was in the best interest of our now-growing family to continue on the campaign trail. We decided that it was not. That’s why I’m writing to let you know that I am suspending my campaign for Oakland City Council. I want to be clear: my desire to serve and improve our community has not changed. But it would not be fair to my family if I were absent during Sam’s pregnancy or unable to devote my attention to her and Elijah. While there will be other campaigns in the future—and I am confident that there will long be a need for each of us to do what’s right for our City—this moment is unique for my family. Family first, straight up. I’ll be reaching out to many of you in the coming weeks to express my gratitude for your love and support. Peace & Love, Chris
